Kucinich spokesman Andy Juniewicz said the Ohio congressman started feeling ill Sunday before flying to Florida for a campaign appearance. He became sicker in Florida, and was forced to cut the trip short to return to Cleveland.

Juniewicz said he was admitted to a Cleveland-area hospital Monday afternoon, and is being treated for “severe symptoms consistent with food poisoning.”

He said Kucinich was improving, but may remain in the hospital another day or two.

Juniewicz said Kucinich missed votes in the House Monday and Tuesday, but did not have any campaign appearances scheduled. His next planned event is this weekend.

Clinton and Edwards admitted on open-mic of wanting to thin out the field... but going to the point of poisoning another candidate is a bit too far! Must have been Hillary's idea. Edwards voted for giving Kucinich a bad hair cut – so I hear.

I wish the candidate a speedy recovery but I am skeptical of the cover story. As someone who has had just regular old food poisoning - I wasn't able to leave the bathroom for more than a half hour at a time much less travel from FL to OH, even on a private jet. It would have been pure hell.

I wish him well. I agree he does bring comic relief. At least each party has someone that is a little looney with Ron Paul on the Republican side and Dennis Kucinich for the Democrats. They both bring comic relief to their respective party debates. Neither can or should be taken seriously.

I gotta wonder... the senator who opposed sought to impeach the Federal Reserve board for moving us to fiat currancy died of food poisoning, after getting it three times in the span of a week, starting the week after decalring his intent to impeach the Federal reserve board.

People think Kucinich "can't win" because MSM keeps spewing out that he can't win. Corporate America is concerned about Edwards plans, Kucinich scares the bushit out of them. He did NOT vote for the war. He had the courage to bring articles of impeachment against Cheney. Dennis is for We The People and that scares corporate America and the greedy. If more ppl knew his positions instead of listening to what MSM wants US to know he would be top tier. But no, MSM would rather US consider candidates hair cuts. Has anyone seen any attack on Kucinich that wasn't ad hominem?

The other candidates had nothing to do with this, most importantly because none are that ruthless. The true masters are backstage. If Kucinich was poisoned, it wasn't meant to kill him: it was meant to turn up the heat and provide more material for setting up the tinfoil-hat club for embarrasment.

Don't forget Paul Wellstone, whom Cheney threatened shortly before his death. I don't suspect Clinton or Edwards, though I'm fully aware of Vince Foster's spotless white sleeve, gun and hand that supposedly shot him in the mouth, per the official photo.

No, this was HR333, and equally Dennis's dazzling speech on the floor against the Hydrocarbon Law, the only "benchmark" that matters to the Junta.

If it passes, it will be the greatest armed robbery in the history of the world. Live long and prosper, Dennis. We will fight on, regardless!
